A little gardening at Signorelli Gastronomia

The second instalment of our October dessert indulgence had a lot of expectation to meet ... after the breathtakingly spectacular selection of desserts at the uber chic Ananas, we had to remind ourselves not to demand something like that everywhere we go!

We arrived at Signorelli Gastronomia - annoyingly they don't take bookings for dessert. A table was easily secured though. But also unfortunate for us, their kitchen was closed (due to a private function) so we weren't able to order other desserts from their menu! Sigh. However there's the cheese selection - doesn't require preparation in the kitchen - which was available for our enjoyment.


I kept looking for the vertical garden, until the Hsinner reminded me that the dessert is called Vertical Garden. Oops ... that'll teach me to read thoroughly!!

Ah this dessert was a beautiful model - standing tall and proud, delicate and elegant. The photography must do it justice! And we being the dessert bloggers we MUST have the BEST photo EVER. The pressure is on! Took me quite some time to capture all the angles I could think of ... what do you think? Did I do it justice?

And the taste? Subtle and light, much like a semifreddo but it wasn't cold; smooth creamy texture in the creme but we love the crunchy nougat accent. Very lovely and beautiful dessert!

But what got us hyperventilating wasn't the dessert offering ... The cheese was simply gorgeous! Truffle pecorino, truffle honey, gorgonzola, goat cheese and a soft white cheese similar to a fresh brie, served with muscat grapes. We would have been happy to lick the dish that held the honey ... and consuming the blue cheese with truffle honey was one of the most indulgent joys in life. And the wine - We LOVE Pedro Ximenez! It is a Spanish dessert wine made of a white grape into a dessert sherry, sticky sweet wine that tasted like a plummy muscat grape, very fragrant, not that easy to drink because of the sweetness but it was just divine!

Thank you Signorelli G! Hope to taste your other desserts another time ... and maybe your food too - your staff dinner had us drooling!!
